When you dreamt I had to dream along
The scorpion's tail had done us both so wrong
With every single word you mapped my life out in pieces
Me, unaware that the world held germ-free diseases

Our minds fuse with the words you choose,
There was light in my dark after so long
So long

Gooning about, but the truth it will out
You never lived but a half of it
Crying with laughter, the mix I was after
This all-sane, half-mad wit

Me I always found that to get back off the ground
You need a friend,
Someone who won't falter, if you try and alter the bitter end
In your words I found the perfect healing sound
And you gave a lend
Given half the chance, I'd swap partners in the dance
And I'd help you mend.

Here in Capri I think of you as a young man
In love and at war before the colors ran
